Of Mistresses, Tigresses and Other Conquests
Of Mistresses, Tigresses and Other Conquests | Giacomo Casanova
4 posts | 3 read | 6 to read
Love can be surprising. Love can be heartbreaking. Love can be an art. But love is the singular emotion that all humans rely on most . . . and crave endlessly, no matter what the cost. United by this theme of love, the nine titles in the Penguin Great Loves collection include tales of blissful and all- encompassing, doomed and tragic, erotic and absurd, seductive and adulterous, innocent and murderous love. A deeply moving addition to the Penguin Great Ideas and Great Journeys series, each gorgeously packaged book will challenge all expectations of love while celebrating the beauty of its existence. All books in this series: Cures for Love Doomed Love The Eaten Heart First Love Forbidden Fruit The Kreutzer Sonata A Mere Interlude Of Mistresses, Tigresses and Other Conquests The Seducer's Diary

This booklet is collection of excerpts from his vast (and unfinished) book of memories. What surprised me the most are his philosophical thoughts about religion, and his attitude towards life (which is of course a rather pragmatic). Quite an interesting, amusing read, but not enough to read the whole (original) book.
